 For those new to roleplaying, there's a lot of little things that may not be immediately obvious, but when you think about them they make a lot of sense. Even for more experienced roleplayers, it's easy to forget these things when getting involved in a game - this page may have something for everyone!

 Character bleed is the concept of your feelings and emotions getting blurred between your character and your OOC self. Often character bleed is talked about as some nasty thing that must be avoided at all costs, but in reality it's perfectly natural; in LARP you are embodying your character, you are having the interactions that cause that emotional reaction, and if your character is hugging someone, your body is physically hugging. It is natural for your brain OOC to react to those experiences, even after dropping out of character.
-Rather than simply saying "you shouldn't do this", there are more useful approaches to take to character bleed. The first thing is being aware that it's happening - this is usually a case of spotting when your OOC feelings start to change to match your IC ones. Then you can begin the work of trying to uncouple those things again. One way you can do this is by [[gm:sessions#ooc_gestures_calls|dropping OOC]] and talking to the person/people that the character bleed is about, either during the session or afterwards. This can help you get to know the OOC person as a separate entity to their character, and to firmly differentiate your IC and OOC feelings and reactions.

-Getting to know people OOC is a great way to preempt some of these things - one of the reasons we have an official((but entirely optional)) [[gm:when_and_where#pre-_and_post-session_social|pre- and post-session]] trip to the pub is it provides a great chance to get to know people better.
